Seeing that Cao Bin had given him a chance to atone for his sins, the imperial doctor checked very hard, and after repeated confirmations, he said:
"This arrow is coated with aconite poison and goes straight into the heart. It is the best at attacking the heart."
"Thanks to the fact that the arrow was taken earlier, the poison was not deep... I will immediately prepare your majesty with medicine to detoxify it!"
Everyone was speechless. They were all dead. Wasn't he still poisoned?
Cao Bin also roughly understood the reason for the emperor's cardiac arrest. According to the imperial doctor, the symptoms caused by aconitum poison were very similar to irregular heartbeat and myocardial infarction.
However, everyone ignored the imperial doctor's self-defense and only asked the emperor about the specific situation.
After hearing that their lives could be saved, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
As for whether there will be any sequelae, I can no longer care so much.
The situation in the capital was not good, but I didn't expect that the emperor really fulfilled the "rumors".
It seems that returning to Beijing will also be a troublesome matter.
People's hearts are the most unpredictable. If they know that the emperor is hopeless and the general trend is the general trend, even the more loyal people may betray him.
Once the imperial court determines the status, even if everyone has the soldiers and power, it will be difficult to reverse the situation.
Fighting in the court does not require soldiers, not to mention that in addition to the 30,000 forbidden troops stationed in Beijing, there are also local soldiers summoned by King Yan to station in the capital.
At least in terms of numbers, it is no less than the anti-Liao army that suffered heavy losses.
This was also the reason why the emperor was eager to return to Beijing.
It would be ridiculous to be respected as the Supreme Emperor, and he has no children. If he doesn't handle it well, even the soldiers around him may betray him.
After all, they are all of the Zhao family's blood, so the psychological pressure on the ministers to change families will not be "too great".
And this is not just a matter of who wins and who loses. After two wars, the court has already suffered heavy losses.
If there is another internal fight, it will have a huge blow to the reputation and strength of the court and the emperor.
Even if the rebellion is finally eliminated, the Song Dynasty will not be stable in the next few years.
"Master Marquis, we have defeated the Liao army and killed all the prisoners."
While the imperial physician was treating the emperor's injuries, the sedan chair also came back to deliver the order.
Cao Bin nodded with satisfaction, and the anger in his heart gradually disappeared:
"Very good......"
At this time, the emperor drank the antidote soup and came to his senses. With tears in his eyes, he grabbed Cao Bin's hand and said:
"Juncai, my reincarnation as a human being depends on your hands. I dare to swear that I will never let you down in the future... cough cough"
Seeing that he was doing everything he could, Cao Bin looked like he didn't know how to thank him, and said quickly:
"I don't dare to do this. This is my duty. Your Majesty, you must take care of your dragon body!"
Just listen to what the emperor says. If you take it seriously, you will be in trouble.
Seeing that the emperor had stabilized, Kou Zhun immediately suggested:
"Your Majesty, time is running out now. The longer we delay, the worse the situation in Beijing will become."
"How about your Majesty handwriting an edict and asking Zhongjing Hou to lead troops back to the capital first to stabilize people's hearts."
"This can minimize the court's losses."
The emperor was about to answer, but Concubine Pan stopped and immediately interrupted:
"no!"
"Your Majesty, the road back to Beijing is really dangerous."
"Only if Zhongjinghou escorts you, can I feel at ease."
"His Majesty......"
It turned out that she trusted Pan Renmei very much, after all, he was her biological father.
Unexpectedly, Pan Renmei was so incompetent that he was defeated as soon as he came into contact with the Liao army.
The emperor was almost killed, and she herself was almost captured alive by the Liao people.
She never wanted to experience the fear just now again.
Cao Bin's divine soldiers and generals shocked her. Now in her heart, Cao Bin is the one she can rely on most securely.
Pan Renmei was right about one thing. With Cao Bin here, at least his life would not be in danger.
Seeing Concubine Pan begging with tears in her eyes, the emperor also nodded thoughtfully:
"Kou Qing, Marquis Zhongjing is brave and loyal. Without him guarding me, I can't sleep peacefully."
"Do you think you can send someone back to Beijing?"
Hearing this, Kou Zhun shook his head and persuaded:
"Your Majesty, the most important thing right now is the safety of the capital. Only loyal and courageous people like Zhongjing Hou can suppress the rebellious officials and traitors..."
Concubine Pan quickly shook her head and said:
"No, Zhongjing Hou must be with me and His Majesty. I don't trust the others."
The emperor also nodded and said:
"Kou Qing, please step back first, and I will think about it again."
Seeing that the emperor refused to let Cao Bin leave, Kou Zhun was helpless.
It's just that the capital is turbulent. If it continues for too long, I don't know how bad it will get.
He could only nod his head and said, "In that case, let's wait until Hun Tianhou catches up."
In his heart, Cao Bin is actually the most suitable candidate.
This person is prone to ruthlessness when forced. Beijing needs such a person. On the contrary, Mu Guiying will have a lot of worries.
In a luxurious palace in the capital.
Yan Wang Zhao Qi had just returned from the court, full of anger.
Seeing this, the counselor hurriedly asked: "The courtiers are unwilling to accept the prince's rule?"
Zhao Qi said bitterly:
"That old guy Wang Yanling insists on waiting for news from the front line."
"The Liao people are so strong that it's not ridiculous to hope that the Song Dynasty will win?"
"Besides, the official family is about to die, what a waste of time!"
King Yan is the emperor's nephew. He was adopted into the palace when he was a child and planned to be adopted by the emperor.
But after Queen Zhang became pregnant, he was sent out of the palace. Later, Queen Zhang had a miscarriage and was not taken back.
This time, news came out that the emperor was seriously injured and about to die. The Queen Mother proposed that Prince Duan take charge, and Prince Yan immediately became anxious.
He first secretly contacted the 5,000 Liao troops who had circled the capital, and designed to seriously injure Li Zhaoming, the commander of the capital in front of the palace, and then directly led troops into Beijing to take control of Kaifeng.
But he did not dare to arrest the ministers and force them to agree to rule by himself.
This time I participated in the court meeting, and I originally had the support of many ministers, so I thought it would be smooth sailing.
Unexpectedly, the leader Wang Yanling insisted on waiting for news from the front line. Cai Jing also had an ambiguous attitude and said nothing.
The counselor advised:
"Your Majesty, now that things have come to a close, don't ask for power anymore. Your Majesty must directly ascend to the throne!"
"As long as you control the imperial city, the Queen Mother and the ministers dare not refuse to agree."
Seeing King Yan's hesitation, the counselor continued to persuade:
"Your Majesty, don't forget the attitude of the Queen Mother and the ministers after the news came out that the official was seriously injured and dying."
"If we just keep talking nicely, I'm afraid the throne will not be passed to the prince."
"No matter what method is used, as long as the position is determined, the world can only accept it."
When King Yan heard this, his eyes suddenly brightened up and he muttered:
"After the death of the father, the son succeeds. I have been raised in the palace since I was a child. Logically speaking, I should succeed to the throne."
"That King Duan only knows how to play with rocks and paint. What qualifications does he have to surpass me?"
As he spoke, he gritted his teeth and said:
"Okay, I will listen to you. We will use our troops immediately. I want to see if they agree."
At this moment, a royal guard came to report in a panic:
"Your Majesty, there is news from Hebei. The official family is returning to Beijing."
Zhao Qi was startled at first and asked in a panic:
"Aren't the officials still confronting the Liao people, and they are seriously injured and ready to die?"
The counselor said:
"My lord, don't panic. This should be news from the capital that the officials have received."
"In order to get rid of the entanglement of the Liao army, he returned in a hurry, and he must have been defeated."
"Your Majesty immediately notified the people of Liao in Gyeonggi and asked them to intercept and kill the Holy Driver."
Zhao Qi slapped his thigh, nodded fiercely and said:
"Yes, I don't believe that their remnant soldiers can defeat the Liao people."
"When the Emperor's uncle dies, I will be able to ascend to the throne in a legitimate and legitimate manner."
As he said this, his eyes shone with great desire.
